X2!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me think about this for just a moment . . . . . . . . . that last and only lead mine in the USA, was producing less then 10% of the USA needs for lead, specializing primarily (mining for lead) the ammo business, so that would mean the outlandish pricing of batteries in the OP thread ?
The outlandish pricing is strictly due to tariffs implemented by the Current Trump Administration . . . . . . . Its always wise to do some additional documentary research and fact checking and then try to draw some conclusion from all the information, not just one side of a issue.
The up pricing of items and materials from the current Tariffs will never come back down. If, if any USA industry does start to produce the items the tariffs are keeping away or higher priced, the USA items will never be priced less then the current tariff pricing . . . . .. never.
But 20 years ago we exported lead products and produced 70% of our needs. You are right that it started before Obama. I would think lead producttion would be a national security issue.
